DEAD OR RESTORE

Post pics here of dead or restorable vans you may come across in padocks, properties, front lawns or dumped.

Interesting to see what turns up.

Cheers Azza.

I'll start with some pics ive taken.

This is a HT i looked at in the Blue Mountains when i was looking to reshell the green HG van i had, the chick wanted $4000 for it at the time, only worth about $1500 tops.



This is a pic of a HQ Sandman van located near Stu's, gone now but the young guy that owned it was going to restore this , very bad but good for parts and tags.

Azza, what are you thinking. The purists dont like to hear about swapping the tags They all think they have the real deal

Don't have a photo, but a few years ago me and the old man went to have a look at an HQ SS for sale and the thing was beyond repair, rust holes literally covering the bog in all panels . But inside the trim was imaculate! we offerd him $1500 witch he was blessed to get. As we went to pick up the car my dad said somthing about what he was going to put the trim in...The bloke freaked out had a big hissy fit and told us to f@$* off and gave us our money back and said he thought we were restoring it! i'd like to see anyone build a car out of clay and drive it

This van is in the bush near my town...a little rusty maybe..Im thinking of getting it back to my place and making a trailer outa it...

atleast its got a prefect aircon in it.. that must be worth something Nigz..

Could put one hell of a moon-roof in it eh

thats for sure..

Hey Nigzy, the last pic looks like the roof has a comb over

Now your talking Nigzy Dont let a bit of cancer put you off your the man who has the creativity to save this piece of holden history GO ON DO IT

there still some parts you could use off that van

yeah and the id tag on the fire wall looks good

this one's off the sunstate site.... it might need a new windscreen and possibly a driver's door.

Wow thats a tight fit, that would of scared the crap out of me if i was driving that when it happened.

OUCH!!!

got several more pics on this one l have somewhere
jammed well & truely between the freeway sign posts but have no info on the accident
a freakish accident if ever l seen one

it makes me think it was an insurance job,, note no skid marks, plastic fuel cap, different coloured stock wheels just things like that make you think they took the goodies off to crash it. that what i think anyway.

Bench seat might be a giveaway you think Daz

and maybe the fact that its between the poles, not around them.good aim

hmmmm, benefit of the doubt boys? some accidents are freakish and totally unbelievable, yet they do happen...

Where's the dash pad?.........

just blew the pic up and the bonet hinge is attached to the bonet but not out of shape whic if it was pulled off fron the force of the stack it would be stuffed.
